Awww, that is such a lovely comment from Tim and yep, typical Joe tweet about dropping the award,bless him!
A few other stars paid tribute to Joe as well. Here are some vids from Hullabaloo's channel

I'm currently uploading to my YT channel too but really only a couple of my vids were reasonable quality. Wasn't too far from him (while he was performing that is, our table was too far away for the speeches etc to get decent recordings of those) but I'm not the tallest person (exactly same height as Joe in fact
) and the stage was low. Paula's, Hullabaloo's, Karen's and YL's vids are far better from what I've seen of them so far, but here are the only 2 vids from my set I think are ok:

Between us all (and there may be others) think the whole evening was captured for those who couldn't attend.
and Hunneyt has some fabulous pics as always
It was a fantastic evening and there were a couple of times where I almost lost it & the tissues were close at hand. At the start of the night, there were clips of Joe being played on the 2 big screens: him as a toddler (happy and smiling, no surprise there, mr sunshine!) interspersed with clips and photos from various gigs in the last 3 years - lots of Bents Park and the 20,000-strong crowd he'd attracted there). The speeches were wonderful - particularly from Denise and Tim - and Joe's was lovely (typically humble and appreciative) too ... could see he was a bit overwhelmed, not surprisingly.
The next morning, LL2 and I were behind Denise in the breakfast queue at the hotel and LL2 complimented Denise on her excellent speech. Denise thanked her and asked us if we'd enjoyed the evening. From the look on Denise's face as we were talking about Joe, it's clear she adores him - in fact, same facial expression from all who had paid tribute to him. As fans, we all think he's very special but it's great to see how highly he's thought of by his peers/fellow celebs too. On Friday night, one of the kindest and most talented young singers around, who has used his celebrity status for nothing but good and touched so many people's hearts, had appropriate recognition in the form of a silver heart awarded to him. I have never been prouder to be a fan
Sorry to go all soppy
but it's truly how I feel.
And this is really still just the start of Joe's career. I think it will be a bright one (look at how much he's already achieved in just 3 years, including being the youngest ever to receive that silver heart award) ... and I seriously can't wait to see what's next for him
